PNY has released the GeForce RTX 5080 Slim OC, the only dual‑slot, dual‑fan 50‑series card from an AIC partner. The slim 40 mm design fits tight builds while still delivering the full 84 SM power of the RTX 5080. With a factory boost of 2730 MHz and 16 GB GDDR7, the card pushes 4K gaming into a new bracket for competitive enthusiasts seeking performance without a bulky footprint.

PNY’s vapor‑chamber cooler packs six heatpipes into a 40 mm chassis, a 30% reduction in module volume yet still delivering 10% more airflow than larger rivals. Dual 120 mm fans and a 150% larger backplate vent keep temperatures competitive, while curved shroud edges reduce turbulence. The result is a card that sits neatly in small cases and supports NVIDIA’s SFF‑Ready guidelines today.

Priced at US$1399, the Slim OC sits just above the reference RTX 5080’s MSRP yet offers a unique dual‑slot footprint that no other AIC delivers. For builders who need compact form factors or multi‑GPU AI workstations, this card blends high clock speeds, ample memory bandwidth, and a slim cooling solution into a single, ready‑to‑install package without extensive cable work, it remains a practical choice for power users today.
